"Compare the Rudd-Gillard style to Hawke-Keating; policies received widespread public review under Hawke-Keating and were beaten into shape through a transparent process. They were not dropped on an unsuspecting public sending shockwaves through financial markets etc. Labor's Carbon Tax is a clasic example."
Do you mean the tax that does not actually exist yet and that is undergoing a wide spread public review at this very moment or are you talking about something else?
